Karl Rove Says Christine O'Donnell Needs to Explain Witchcraft 'Dabbling' to Voters
AOL News ^ | 19/9/10 | Bruce Drake

Posted on 09/19/2010 1:16:35 PM PDT by Eleutheria5

Karl Rove, political mastermind for former President Bush, said Sunday that Christine O'Donnell, the Tea Party insurgent who won an upset victory in Delaware for the GOP Senate nomination, "can't simply ignore" the controversy stirred over the disclosure that she "dabbled in witchcraft" and has to find a way to "explain it and put it in its most sympathetic light and move on." "In southern Delaware, where there are a lot of church-going people, they're probably going to want to know what was that all about," Rove said on Fox News Sunday. "And again, she said it on television when she went on the ... the Bill Maher show." Rove was referring to an October 1999 appearance O'Donnell made on Maher's "Politically Incorrect" show where she said," I dabbled into witchcraft -- I never joined a coven... One of my first dates with a witch was on a satanic altar, and I didn't know it." O'Donnell had been on Maher's show frequently in the 1990s, and Maher has said he is going to show an O'Donnell clip each week until she agrees to appear again.

Yes, thank you Karl for inoculating Christine against anything the democrats can say about her. If they say anything it will just look like they are piling on.

“The Delaware GOP picked her in 2008 to run against Biden. The GOP would now have to say they did not vet O’Donnell at all.”

Well, two years have gone by since 2008. I don’t have the inside information, but there are public allegations that since then O’Donnell has broken some rules. Like they allege that she was illegally living off campaign contributions when she wasn’t running for office.

So a new investigation is needed.

The Byrds had talent

You mean covering Dylan songs, of course. Dylan wrote it.

And I already know "Bob Dylan can't sing" so everyone spare me.

“Who is she running against again...”

Chris Coons, who when he was younger called himself a “bearded Marxist”.

Rove needs to explain why he is anti-conservative. I agree with others here, STFU. Don’t go away mad, Karl, just go away.

"Understand my post. If he thought his words would create a backlash would he have made them."

He contiues to flap his gums. Why do you put stock in anything he says? It is we the people, Not pundits like Rove.

This is gone really strange. Hunter S Thompson quote comes to mind

“When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.”

Hello?
